Can be applied to containers of {{favilink|slime}}, salty or brackish {{favilink|water}}, or really any liquid contaminated with {{favilink|salt}}, removing the drams of salt from the liquid or converting the slime to an equal amount of {{favilink|gel}}.  Will also work if dropped into a pool of liquid, although a single pellet won't remove more than 200 drams of salt this way.
When a {{name}} is applied to a container of liquid, or dropped into a pool of liquid on the ground, it removes up to 200 drams of {{favilink|salt}}, leaving behind the pure liquid.


{{favilink|ichor merchant|plural}} always have several {{name|plural}} for sale; they also rarely appear in generalist [[merchant]]s' inventories.
{{favilink|ichor merchant|plural}} and {{favilink|Hortensa}} always have several {{name|plural}} for sale; they also rarely appear in generalist [[merchant]]s' inventories.


As {{name|plural}} have no weight, they can be carried as a means of cleaning widely-available filthy water for trade or consumption as an alternative to carrying freshwater or precious metals.

The enterprising player can use a single desalination pellet to turn 1000 drams of Brackish water (which typically generates with 20% salt content) into 800 drams of [[Fresh water]].  This is best achieved by throwing the pellet into an undisturbed pool from an adjacent space, as standing in newly-desalinated water tends to contaminate it with salt from the ground.

== Special Liquid Interactions ==
 
Certain liquids change into other liquids under the effect of a {{name}}.
 
* {{favilink|brain brine}} turns into {{favilink|algae}}.{{Code Reference|class=LiquidBrainBrine|namespace=XRL.Liquids|property=ConversionProduct}}
* {{favilink|slime}} turns into {{favilink|gel}}.{{Code Reference|class=LiquidSlime|namespace=XRL.Liquids|property=ConversionProduct}}
* {{favilink|sunslag}} turns into {{favilink|lava}}.{{Code Reference|class=LiquidSunslag|namespace=XRL.Liquids|property=ConversionProduct}}
* {{favilink|warm static}} turns into any other liquid, including rare ones like {{favilink|neutron flux}}. However, it is most likely to turn into {{favilink|salt}}.{{Code Reference|class=LiquidWarmStatic|namespace=XRL.Liquids|property=ConversionProduct}}
 
Generally the only one of these conversions that will be useful to the player is turning {{favilink|slime}} into {{favilink|gel}}, for curing [[Ironshank]] or [[fungal infection]]s.
